Making Progress

Today is Tuesday, March 5, 2013. It appears that it is going to be another cold and windy day.  It is so, so pretty outside, just inviting. So I will continue to do things inside for a few more weeks.

This is the last place mat to get be finished up! It never fails that when I am trying to get something done  something mechanicial will not work the way that it should. My sewing machine has had issues the last few days and I have tried everything to fix it, but it just  isn't working.  So it has been really slow going. However, three of the four are finished!
This is the front side or back side of one, you can use them either side.  I told George that when one side gets dirty, just turn them over.  He laughed and told me I have been watching to many guy shows.
And this would be the other side.  I have enjoyed making these and to be honest you could use all scraps to make them. They would be nice house warming gifts with some matching pot holders to go with them.

Going to finish up this place mat and then get the house cleaned up and young sons laundry done.  Doc is loving this weather.  It seems to energize him, he is crazy running and jumping in the yard.  Bailey on the other hand wants no part of it. It's cold out to do business and right back in.  Now when summer comes she is a little Sun Goddess. She will follow the sun around the yard laying in it. They are both so very different.

Need to get everything finished up at the house today so that tomorrow I can get the RV loaded up and ready to go so that on Thursday I can get some food cooked and baking done before we leave Friday morning.

It's time for me to get off my butt and get things moving in a forward direction.  Wishing everyone a day spent with friends.

~Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live today!~ Brightest Blessing

    1. I have learned there is so much we can do with the "left over" fabric. Sure hope the weather gets warmer soon....

  2. What lovely placemats. Perhaps when I retire I'll become creative again because I will have the time to do things. I think I'd like to get into my beadwork again; that is if my eyes will let me. Now I have something else to look forward to.

  3. It is really pretty! I love the idea of switching it instead of immediately washing it. Just because it is eco friendly, not because i am lazy(cough, cough!).
    Lots and lots of love!
